Hoshizaki House Dryden District Crisis Shelter has a brand new space and held their Grand Opening today.

The ceremony featured speeches from a variety of board members including Dallas Ledsham who recently received a generous gift on behalf of the women's shelter from Calypso Hair Fashions in Dryden.

Robert Beasant of Calypso Hair Fashions and Retail Centre has donated over $2000.00 of hair care products to Hoshizaki House!

The emergency shelter and crisis service serves Dryden and surrounding areas by providing a safe haven for women and their families who have been victims of domestic abuse. The new facility has replaced the former century-old building, and increased in size from 3,000 square feet to 8,000 square feet.
